Ta for that, I'll try 'em

Actually mine did snap, I was driving through Bosnia and hit a land mine. I 100% blame Land Rover. can I have some of the money that you are never going to get?

http://www.thatcham.org/security/pdfs/categories/PassengerCarCAT1.pdf has a list of standard fit systems. (not for my year) got that list here... thatcham.org | Security | Security Categories

Next time you get stuck.......flick the switch, it might be a locker :cool:

35 mins I was on to her on me mobile. in the end I took the insurance and agreed to post the certificate in 28 days. I'll be out of the country by then ;) She just kept saying "screen says I can't do that" bit like "computer says no"

sorry, I have a policy running on a car, I was changing vehicles. That way I only have to pay £40, If I go to a policy which doesn't need the alarm then I have to cancel that one and take out a new one.

I went to insure the discovery and the old bag on the phone said it has to have a thatcham cat 1 alarm/immob. I told her it is a 1994 vehicle and barely worth a grand. but to get insurance I have to send a certificate! I think its got a factory fitted one, but they want a bloody certificate. I...

I kunker!!! I'm suing the bastid that sold me the Disco and said I'd get 20 MPG:D

Axle seal? has the diff got oil in it?

Did it go into water? First thing I would do is drain the tranny and fill it with fresh stuff, have a look at the colour of the old fluid.

I finally got a chance to crawl under and have a butchers underneath today. the banging was coming from the two torpedos that are slung under the sills for holding LPG, :eek: The metal straps had rotted through and the tanks were rattling about. I secured them with tie down straps for now, I...

I dunno, is he rich?

I drive from Serbia to the Uk and back about 4-5 times a year, There is nothing to it now, you won't even have to leave the EU. Just keep your wits about you and keep different denominations of euros in different pockets (remember which pocket has what note) in Germany the trucks tend to keep...

Great site. Sorry to hijack. But..you know the carpety bit that goes from the floor in the passenger footwell to up under the dash? what would call it? I'm trying to find it in the rich catalogue:confused:

Rip all the carpets out and spray it with pick up bedliner. or the yanks use 'herculiner' a bit like underseal, but dries hard. I'm not sure what you can get in England. But you get good sound deadening and waterproofing.

I hear where you are coming from with this. But usually the semi skilled air con engineers (ones that have been on a 2 day course) don't charge a system by the sight glass or gauges. they have a machine which will pull a vacuum and then dump in the weight of charge for that particular vehicle...

2 bar pressure. I changed the springs and shocks on my old RR some years ago. A 'mechanic' told me I was wasting my time with springs because they don't wear out or lose their 'springyness'. I am not disagreeing with you, in fact I agree. But for the price of 4 springs I may as well change them...

I just crawled under and had a look, it looks 'stock'. Springs don't usually wear out do they? Only modification to it is lpg tanks slung under the sills, I think my first job will be to move them, they look like the first rock or tree stump will rip them off.

Some of you Discovery owners may be able to help. I've just bought a 94 Disco 3.9. It drives and runs great (apart from the lpg problem) I don't know if it's just me but I seem to feel every bump on the road. Now if the shocks were tired surely it would be spongy and wallowy, it's not, it feels...
